I am surprised that I liked this! Can't say I'd make them again, tho. I used Beck's Oktoberfest beer. I messed up VariationII by using all the mojito mix but it was great that way (I like sweet drinks). For Variation I, I did it correctly but promptly added the rest of the mojito mix. It's DIFFERENT & not bad. If you like mojitos, give this a try!!
